Mineral Turpentine Oil (MTO)

What is MTO?
Mineral Turpentine Oil (MTO) is a clear, water-white, volatile petroleum distillate used widely as a solvent in various industrial applications. Derived during the refining of crude oil, MTO is a low-aromatic hydrocarbon solvent known for its excellent solvency power, moderate evaporation rate, and low sulfur content.

It is a key ingredient in paint and coating formulations, as well as cleaning and degreasing agents.

 Uses of MTO
MTO is used across a wide range of industries, including:
*Paints and Coatings Industry – As a solvent or thinner
*Cleaning and Degreasing – For machinery, metal parts, and automotive maintenance
*Construction Chemicals – In waterproofing compounds and primers
*Chemical Intermediates – For formulations and blending
*Lamp Oils and Polish – In the production of household and industrial products
*Agriculture – As a solvent in pesticide formulations
 
Manufacturing Process
At Vishal Industries, MTO is manufactured through a refined and controlled process:
*Fractional Distillation of Crude Oil
Light petroleum fractions are separated and processed at specific boiling ranges.
*Hydrotreatment / Desulfurization
To reduce sulfur and impurities for better environmental and application performance.
*Blending and Filtration
Ensuring uniform composition, odor control, and viscosity levels.
*Quality Testing
MTO is tested for flash point, distillation range, aromatics content, and evaporation rate.
 
Key Benefits of MTO
*Excellent Solvency – Dissolves resins, oils, greases, and other substances efficiently
*Low Odor & Clear Appearance – Suitable for high-quality formulations
*Versatile Application – Used in coatings, cleaning, blending, and agriculture
*Controlled Evaporation – Ensures optimal drying time for paints and coatings
*Environmentally Safer Grades Available – Low sulfur and low aromatic content
